Woodley park. Red line
You can use the Woodley Park/Zoo stop or the Cleveland Park stop. There is a long hill to walk up from Woodley Park to the zoo entrance. It is about the same distance from Cleveland Park, but with no hill. Save your hill climbing for the zoo.
How much is parking
You can take Red line towards Shady Grove and get down and Woodley Park Station. From station there are free shuttles available to/from Zoo.
